Actually, the post should have been under the Humor byline.  After all, it was
dealing with Windows CE which is a joke in itself.

No offense to Minisoft is intended.

Kind regards,

Good idea. But given that the only relevance to HP3000-L in the 'Windows
CE' post was a vague promise of MS92 for CE 'real soon now', do we need
an agreed hierarchy, where 'Off Topic' always comes before 'Plug' or
vice versa ?
